    He's having career high 3pt attempts (and makes), should he be even more aggressive?

    He has been taking every 3 the defense gave him and im pretty fine with that.

    You know, i'd rather have him creating an open 3 for someone else than forcing a 3 for himself, that's his game.

    5.5 3-point attempts/game is a good average, which is where he's currently at.

    His pull up 3 is pretty good. I like to see the bigs set some picks for him to get him some more looks.

    Man, who wouldn't want to play for the Rockets right now? The system and personnel is designed to make you look so good.

    Nah the amount he's shooting it is just fine. 3-5 a game depending on how the defense plays him, he's definitely a great 3 point shooter, but the Nuggets defense shouldn't be his measuring stick.

    His mid range J is money when we're stagnant on offense, idk how but every time we need a basket bad, CP3 goes and makes it happen.

    He should aim for 50/40/90 this year. And 5.0 A/TO. Eat your heart out Nash.

    As far as I'm concerned CP3 can do whatever the hell he wants and take whatever shot he wants. I don't even mind him keep taking mid-range shots cause in close games against top defenses in the playoffs, those might actually be the best shot available to us and he's the best in the league at those.

    Westbrook. He would have to share the ball, pass to the open man here.

    Paul never forces the issue. He can always get a better shot.

    If the defense gives him 10 good looks he'll take 10. If they give him none he won't take any.

    Harden is one of the five best natural playmakers in the league. Now that I get to watch both, CP3 is on another level from him. Not nearly as talented a scorer, but his floor recognition is unreal.

    I think he should be up there around 7-8 attempts. He should take on more of an aggressive scorer role especially with Harden on the floor.

    Paul will do whatever is necessary. He's a general on both ends, and maintaining 40% 3PT would be gravy.

    Rockets should win 60 games if healthy.

    Paul should do whatever he wants.

    CP3 i without a shadow of a doubt top 6 PG and a future HOF and James is the best combo guard in the history of the league plus a 1 ballot HOF. There has never been a scorer of Harden's ability combined with the level of his play making. Best thing is these two guys love eachother unlike the Dwight fiasco. Both guys are making the required sacrafices to be successful.

    Chris is at 7.5 3PA/36 min. 57.9% of his FGAs are coming from outside the arc, compared to his previous career high of 38.5% (23.3% career average).

    He's right where he needs to be.
